About GAF Headquarters
As a world-leading manufacturer of roof components, GAF demands a roofing solution for its own headquarters that sets the standard in sustainability. The 377,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art facility is the first building in the world to be awarded a LEED® Resilient Design Pilot credit from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The challenge
GAF moved its corporate headquarters to Parsippany, NJ., in 2015, after the historic company spent 40 years occupying an 11-building campus in Wayne, N.J. GAF was determined to lead by example in environmental sustainability.
The solution
The roof system employs RUBEROID® HW 25 Smooth Membrane as a vapor retarder, EnergyGuard™ Polyiso Insulation, and EnergyGuard™ HD Cover Board. It also includes GAF’s best-performing single-ply membrane, EverGuard Extreme® Fleece-back TPO Membrane.
GAF 2-Part Roofing Adhesive was used to fully adhere EverGuard Extreme® Fleece-back TPO to provide superior wind uplift performance. When using EverGuard Extreme® Fleece-back TPO Membrane with GAF 2-Part Roofing Adhesive, the fleece on the back of the membrane provides an added cushioning layer, which is especially important for hail-prone areas.
